I've been a customer for about 6 months now. I'm about to cancel it though because in the end, the shave isn't that great. Here's a list of my frustrations
1) The handle is so large that it won't fit in any known holder in existence
2) The handle is light and cheap feeling/looking, made of pure plastic
3) The "hair lifting" rubber strip is too wide, making shaving tight areas like directly below your nose totallyimpossible.
4) The blades, despite there being 4 of the fuckers on this model, just aren't that sharp. Even the new ones feel like I'm shaving with a 3-week old Gillette, sometimes leaving me feeling raw.
5) The comfort strip is sub-par.
6) The head tilts at MOST 25 degrees. This is contrary to their site that boasts a 90 degree pivot False fucking advertising. I've written them and they won't update the site. I called them and they blew me off.Because of the cheap price and my shaving habits, after 6 months I have a little collection of about 8 of their blades left. Yet, I think the skin on my face is worth the highway robbery that is the Gillette Mach 3, a blade I thought I could replace with these. I know I'll reluctantly fork over the $18 or so for a set of four name-brand blades, but now I realize that's the price for a good shave.
Damn! I was really hoping these guys were a viable alternative.
